Are we gonna have a rideout this year or what???

I've got Daddy duties in the morning

My wife just said if I get up and wake Euan before 8am, I'm never getting out on the bike at weekends again.

I was thinking 10am ?
Any earlier and that's leaving my house before 9, so feck that.

[Mr Speirs]

****ing bunch of wooly woofters ...alright then 10am?

Jeez, leave it for someone to suggest a time and then jump on them

I'm not gonna be able to get out until 1pm

Early is better for me.
9 am is best but happy for 10

OK, executive decision time lads!

How about this for a compromise to keep everyone happy and able to come?

• Meet at the Long Itch at 10am
• Have Brekkie
• Do my route to the Long Itch in reverse, taking us back to Husbands Bosworth and then Market Harborough, the route is recommended by bestbikingroads.com
• Do Mr Spiers Eastern Route either clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on how we are doing for time
• Arrive in Melton Mowbray for lunch time, have a Pork Pie and meet Rusty
• Continue Mr Speirs eastern route in whichever direction we were taking

What do you think Grumpy old men of the Madlands?

Who is going to lead? (not me, my fast days are over, I crashed once too often and grew up)

It takes Phil a long way from home, but at least we'll all be coming to meet him half way in the morning and I know he loves Long Itch breakfast!

(PS: I'd be riding 50 mins purely for the social side of breakfast then turning, round and going back exactly the same way!)

Works for me
